Château Peyrabon 2022

The complexity and finesse of a Haut-Médoc red wine

The estate

Located in the Haut-Médoc appellation, at the gateway to Pauillac, Château Peyrabon is nestled in a lush green setting. Owned by Patrick Bernard since 1998, Château Peyrabon has undergone significant restructuring and modernization, both in the vineyard and the winery. Classified as a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur, Château Peyrabon is a very fine reference in Haut-Médoc. It offers wines that are representative of the appellation, elegant and powerful, with superb aging potential.

Since September 2022, Château Peyrabon and Château Fleur Peyrabon have been acquired by the BCAP group (Castéja family), notably the owners of Château Batailley and Château Lynch-Moussas.

The vineyard

This Château Peyrabon 2022 is a Haut-Médoc wine from a vineyard of approximately 37 hectares. Averaging 29 years of age, the vines are planted on sandy gravel resting on a clay subsoil. Clay-limestone soils are found on 5 hectares of the vineyard. The vineyard holds ISO14001-2015 and HVE (High Environmental Value) certifications, with phytosanitary protection carried out using sustainable pest management.

Winemaking and aging

The grapes, transferred by vibrating hopper, undergo destemming and optical sorting before crushing and vatting. Plot-by-plot vinification is carried out in temperature-controlled concrete and stainless steel vats. Average maceration of 21 days. Press wines are separated and then selected after tasting. Barreling is partially carried out at run-off. Aging lasts 14 months in barrels (30% new wood), followed by fining in vats.

Blend

Château Peyrabon 2022 comprises a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (55%), Merlot (34%), Cabernet Franc (8%) and Petit Verdot (3%).
